The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Apr. 28, 2011

Stop & Shop is considering where to construct a gas station for its large store at Broad and East Main in Meriden. It’s a rather congested area and it’s a little tough to imagine how a large station could be added into that mix without creating traffic issues, but perhaps it can be done.

Small budget increases (in Master’s Manna, to the library, the Community Development Commission and Wallingford Center, Inc.) added by Wallingford’s council seem like good choices, providing cash where it will be most useful.

Good for Wolcott's Rep. Sampson for voting “no” on the reporting of abuse bill because he has questions on details. When the cause is good, almost everyone feels obliged to support whatever law comes down the pike in order to seem “responsive” but what is done must actually improve the situation.

Southington is holding a medication disposal event, collecting expired or unused prescription medicines for safe and proper destruction. No, that does not mean flushing them down the toilet.

The arrest of a woman and the serious felony charges in connection with sending her son to the wrong school district – Norwalk rather than Bridgeport – (hence theft of services charge) confirms a major flaw in Connecticut schools, namely, the inequality. Instead of prosecutions, spend the money on helping raise other districts.
